Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success Paperback

Why I like it: I like how this book slaps me out of small thinking. Sometimes I play too safe or aim too low - and Cardone’s energy just bulldozes that mindset. It’s aggressive, loud, and relentless - and that’s what I need when I feel like I’m movin...
